Chapter 48 – #49 Because I’m a Hero
#49 Because I’m a hero
– Happy birthday to our son! I love you my son!
-I love you Andrew~ Blow out the candles!
-Yes! Woo woo woo!
I stood on the roof with my arms folded, focusing all my attention on my hearing. Then, a voice drunk with happiness came from inside.
“Hmm! A harmonious family!”
Andrew, one of the kids I saved, had a birthday today. Maybe Andrew wouldn’t have had his birthday if I hadn’t saved him!
“Happy birthday Andrew.”
Without realizing it from inside, I quietly jumped off the roof and shoved the envelope containing the money into the crack in the door. My theory has always been that cash is the best birthday present.
Having achieved my goal, I coolly climbed back up on the roof and started running.
“Now all that’s left is… Rachel.”
I moved in the order I sent her back home, and Rachel was the last in the order.
Rachel, the kind and brave girl who talked to me and cared about me in the midst of my fright in that terrible place.
In particular, what surprised me was that when she reunited with her mother, she smiled brightly at first as if nothing had happened.
If I had been in the same situation as Rachel, I would have cried out loud. I was kidnapped at such a young age. Are you fucking scared? Just imagining it made me want to urinate.
Of course, I was a guy with strong teeth and a strong cock, so I didn’t count.
In such a situation, I will never forget the image of Rachel laughing for her mother who must have worried about her for a year.
I ran hard and arrived at Rachel’s house before I knew it.
“Hmm!”
Finally, to hear Rachel’s happy voice, Steel Armor’s trademark crossed her arms and focused on her hearing.
-Haha…
“… Huh?”
Moan? Come to think of it, Rachel’s mother was quite pretty… Could it be Yas?!
A lustful imagination came into my mind. A sinister smile formed on his lips.
But even for a moment, my face hardened at the continued voice.
-Anyone… Help me… Lord… Please…
“…”
What the fuck is this situation now?
I hurriedly jumped off the roof and slammed the door open and went inside.
“…!”
The house was a mess as if it had been burglarized. The furniture was overturned and the floor was a mess with fallen books and utensils. I hurriedly ran in the direction of the sound.
“What the fuck!”
In the room, Rachel’s mother, Emily, had collapsed, pale and breathing heavily. His shirt was stained with blood as if he had been shot in the stomach.
What about Rachel?!
“Rachel! Rachel!”
I searched the room and called for Rachel, but the girl was nowhere to be found. So, I approached Emily first.
“Hey! Are you okay?! Can you hear me?!”
“Do, help…”
“What happened? Where’s Rachel?!”
“The freak, the freaks… Rachel… Kidnapped me…”
“…”
My body hardened.
That nice, grown-up girl was kidnapped again? Not once, but twice?
The string of reason was about to break. But she was barely holding her spirit. She has to save Rachel, but it’s also important to save Emily.
“Hold on! I’ll take you to the hospital!”
“Hey, Rachel…”
“… I will save Rachel. She will be saved no matter what, no matter how hard she goes through the Dark City. So leave her to me and just think about meeting Rachel alive.”
“Go, thank you…”
“Fuck!”
After that, Emily lost her mind. Her blood spilled so much that the floor of her room where she lay was stained with her blood.
I hurriedly hugged her and started running to her nearby hospital. One minute, one second was urgent.
Bang-!
“Kyaaaaah
“Wh-what?!”
“Aaaaagh! Rain, it’s a villain!”
I kicked the emergency room door and went inside, and the people waiting inside saw me and started screaming and running away.
“Doctor! Where is the doctor! Doctor!”
“Stay still! If you move, I will shoot!”
Hearing people’s screams, the resident police and security officers came running and pointed their guns at me. The doctor did not come, and as men armed with guns approached, it became increasingly difficult for him to keep his mind.
I told them with all my heart.
“I’m going to move. And I’m going to kill you guys the moment I shoot that gun. So if you don’t want to waste your life, shoot yourself.”
“…!”
“Ugh…!”
There was a terrible life in my words. This was not the time to be procrastinating here. We have to leave Emily to the doctor and go rescue Rachel.
“What about the doctors and nurses! There’s an emergency patient here! He’s got a gunshot wound! Get out of here, you bastards!”
“Hey, I’m here! So calm down!”
At my cry, a nurse hiding in a corner approached me. He approached me with his palm pressed to me to calm down, but really? Now I couldn’t calm down.
“I was shot in the stomach. I need surgery right away.”
“Okay. Come this way.”
I followed the nurse to the emergency room. I said as I laid Emily, whose breathing was getting thinner, on the bed.
“The hospital bills will come later and I’ll pay for them, so do whatever you can to save her. Otherwise, I’ll kill all the humans in this hospital. By all means! I’ll definitely save you! Got it?!”
“Yes, yes. I understand.”
She yelled at the nurse and rushed out of the emergency room. The resident police and security officers who were exposed to my life couldn’t move until I went outside.
“Rachel…!”
Wait a moment! Oppa, no, the uncle is coming!
*****
“That’s… Steel armor?”
An S-class hero memory hunter, who was caught drunk driving and was forced to participate in an alcoholism treatment campaign, witnessed an unexpected scene while looking outside due to a commotion outside.
A-class villain Steel Armor came to the hospital carrying a woman covered in blood.
“That woman…”
Reflexively drawing her gun, the memory hunter saw the woman in Steel Armor’s arms and widened her eyes.
A few days ago, the memory hunter had met that woman. She was the mother of the brave girl Rachel.
Just as Rachel left a strong impression on Steel Armor, the girl left a strong impression on Memory Hunter.
“No way?”
The moment he recognized Rachel’s mother, an ominous thought came to the memory hunter’s mind.
She had fought the villain for a long time and had read all the memories of her crimes, so she instinctively knew what had happened to her just by looking at her now.
“Damn the villains!”
Biting his lip, the memory hunter hurried out. Then he jumped into the car and started chasing Steel Armor as he frantically ran down the street.
It’s unfortunate, but at the same time, it’s a good opportunity.
Because it was the moment to know the essence of the steel armor known as the villain.
Boaaaaang-!
The memory hunter stepped on the accelerator and chased after the steel armor.
*****
‘Where did they take you?’
As I went back to Rachel’s house, I thought about how to find her. But she couldn’t be sharp.
The incident had already taken place when I arrived at Rachel’s house.
Damn! How should I… Ah!
It seemed that people’s heads were actively spinning at the moment of urgency.
‘Three thousand eyes.’
It was a superpower that was nominated while looking for a superpower that could replace the tutorial system that had disappeared a while ago.
A psychic ability that allows you to check wherever you are as long as the camera is installed.
Traffic cameras, ATMs, cell phones, store entrances, cameras were everywhere. With three thousand eyes, Rachel could easily be saved.
I use the right to create psychic powers, but it was not a waste at all. It’s because you only need to spend one psychic power generation ticket to save Rachel.
‘System. Use the psychic creation right…’
“Steel Armor!”
“Huh?”
The moment I was about to use the psychic power generator, someone called me with a loud sound. I looked back and saw a North Korean man with a beard and unkempt hair pointing a gun at me.
‘What is that bastard?’
You can’t kill me with a gun anyway. I can’t even get a small wound. Even I was wearing Peter’s suit that lightly blocks guns.
‘System. The right to create superpowers…’
“What happened to Rachel? She couldn’t believe she was kidnapped again?”
“…”
I ignored the man and tried to use the psychic power generator again, but the man’s words stopped me. I turned around and looked at the man.
“Who are you.”
“I am an S-class hero memory hunter.”
“Hero?”
Why did an S-class hero suddenly appear here? Besides, how does an S-class hero know about Rachel?
The word trap passed through my mind.
“You’d better answer honestly from now on. I can kill you right now.”
As I approached him and said, the man suddenly withdrew the gun he was aiming at me.
“You don’t have time to listen to that right now? Shouldn’t finding Rachel come first?”
“…”
I stopped at the man’s words. Yes that’s right The priority was to find Rachel now.
Besides, even if this situation was a trap, it didn’t matter. Rather, it was more welcome if it was a trap. Because you can get a clue to find Rachel by stepping into the trap yourself.
“In the Hero Association, you can check traffic conditions throughout Dark City. You can also view CCTV. It will be easier to find Rachel.”
“…Then find it quickly.”
“I have already contacted the association. They should be checking traffic cameras around here by now.”
“…”
I was told that I had already contacted them, so I decided to wait. One second felt like an hour.
‘Why am I so upset?’
After all, Rachel doesn’t have much of a relationship with me. Besides, Rachel is a kid, and she’s not even my 19 gold target.
But after she found out that Rachel had been kidnapped, a fever came up in her head.
Fuck I’m a villain But why are you so angry?
‘Okay. It’s a national rule not to touch children.’
Yeah, that’s why I’m so mad that the mysterious kidnappers broke the country’s rules. Otherwise, this rage right now would be inexplicable.
-Seniors!
How much time has passed Finally, the long-awaited contact from the Association came.
-At 20:19, a black vehicle arrived, and at 20:20, it was confirmed that the gangsters were kidnapping Rachel!
“Where have they gone?”
-North! The vehicle has moved north! We’ll brief you right away as soon as it’s confirmed!
“Yeah keep briefing… Hey, hey!”
-Yes?
“What the fuck!”
– No, are you swearing here?!
The memory hunter immediately jumped into the car and started chasing the moving steel armor. It was because the moment she heard the word north, the steel armor ran towards the north.
“That crazy bastard! You didn’t even hear the exact location and ran?!”
-Yes? Senior, who are you with now?
“Noisy! Continue briefing!
-Yes… Senior! The vehicle has fallen into Area 66!
Hearing Lonister’s voice over the phone, the memory hunter opened the window and shouted at the steel armor running in front.
“Steel armor! Area 66!”
Upon hearing the voice, Steel Armor immediately turned towards Area 66.
Two villains and a hero set out to rescue a kidnapped girl.
*****
Just an hour ago, Rachel was happy.
She lives alone with her mother, without her father, but Rachel never thought for a moment that she was unhappy. Even that was when she was kidnapped and separated from her mother for a year.
– We will definitely be able to meet her mother again.
Because her hope of reuniting with her mother sustained her girl.
-Scared…
-I miss my mother…
– Aaaaah!
– Guys, don’t cry. We can go back home
Rachel said she was scared herself, but she soothed the younger children. Her crying children stopped crying at Rachel’s warm comfort.
So Rachel was the only one left unsold while her other children were sold off somewhere. Because her captors realized that with Rachel, she could more easily control her children.
When Steel Armor rescued her, and when she met her mother again, Rachel thought her long suffering was over. She thought, too, that there was hope in this world. The girl was happy when she returned home and was reunited with her mother.
But the world was cruel and the happiness did not last long.
Suddenly, assailants wearing black masks over her face broke into her house. Her mother tried to resist with a shotgun, but she couldn’t fire a single shot, and she was shot dead. She was met with a small gunshot, probably wearing a silencer.
If her mother had been able to fire the shotgun, she would have been able to call the police when neighbors heard it. The goons were thorough.
She begged the assailants to save her mother, but the assailants refused to grant the girl’s request.
So Rachel was kidnapped by gangsters.
“Heh… Hehe…!”
In addition to Rachel, other children were kidnapped in the car by the assailants.
“Mom mom…”
“Please send me back home…”
“Shut up you kids!”
“Aww!”
“Aaaaang!”
“Shut up?! These bastards are for real!”
The assailant pointed a terrifying gun at the crying children.
“Hey, hold on!”
Rachel thought the gunman was going to shoot her children, so she hurriedly cut her way.
“I’ll calm them down. I won’t let them cry. So put the guns in.”
“What? Ha! It’s ridiculous. Who are you…”
“Hey, stop it. If you kill them, you’ll have to work overtime.”
“If those kids whine loudly again, then I’m going to kill you first. Just like your mother. Heck heck… Got it?”
“…”
Rachel’s face went white when she said, “Like her mother.” But she never cried like the other children.
“Sheesh.”
When Rachel showed no reaction, the assailant drew the gun as if it were nothing. The girl let out a sigh of relief.
‘Rachel? You are a hero.’
‘You don’t have to have superpowers to become a hero. A true hero is one who does not lose hope and courage even in difficult situations. If it weren’t for you, all the kids you were with would have made terrible choices. However, thanks to your courage and protecting the other children, all of them were able to return home safely. Hero Rachel? Would you like to punch me?’
He remembered what the memory hunter had told him.
‘Hero.’
‘If I don’t lose my courage… These children can go home again.’
‘Hero.’
‘I am a hero.’
“Guys. Don’t cry. If you don’t cry and stay strong, we can go home.”
“Huh…! Really?”
“Sure. So don’t cry. Shall I tell you something funny? Once upon a time, there was a princess in a country. She loved a beggar…”
Even in the desperate situation, Rachel did not lose hope. She didn’t lose her courage.
Because-
‘I am a hero.’
Rachel is a hero.
